THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is Now on IMDB!!!

As previously mentioned, THE MARSCHER LORDS: Brotherhood or Death Promo Video/Commercial is now in the process of being scored – with ORIGINAL MUSIC!!! Composer Drew Tretick unfortunately became detained on one of his current projects so he referred the scoring duties to his close friend Hans Karl, who we couldn’t be happier to have aboard!!! Keeping it all in the family!!! The initial work on the shorter of the videos (yes – there is more than one! ;<) is more than promising & Hans is incredibly excited to be working on it!!! The music itself evokes masculinity, raw emotion, power,  loneliness, gentleness, honor, respect, kindness, & love. Of course tying it all together are the moving pictures it will itself overlay...

It’s Official!!! – Major Recording Artist Drew Tretick Joins THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Production Team as Composer/Scorer!!!

Serendipity Happens!!!

Fresh from THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Promo Video Shoot, our very own R. E. Wilhelm III is off later this week to shoot Barker Daniels, a family saga directed by Mike “Moose” Moutsatsos & produced by Fred Durst (formerly of Limp Bizkit) & Mark W. Curran‘s signature feature Abandoned Dead. Lenser Extraordinaire David Hansen-Sturm is finishing up some projects this week to get into the editing booth to hammer out THE MARSCHER LORDS: Brotherhood or Death Promo Video. There’s also been movement on the scoring front for both THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Promo Video as well as the film itself – Serendipity Happens: talks are initial at this point, but there is a major recording artist, a graduate of the famed Juilliard School of Music in New York ...

Marscher Lords Promo Video: It’s a Wrap!!!

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Promo in the Can!!! Just this past Tues we shot several theme-based vignettes that we’re cutting into a short promo film for the aforementioned production!!! A terrific cast of mates & new friends including RE Wilhelm III, Edwin H Bravo (who just recently shot an episode of The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow for HBO), Joe Sachem (one of the finest character actors around), Rita Green, who hails from Hollywood’s Golden Age where she was under contract to Universal Studios, Stephen Rollins, Aubreeanna Carroll, & Julian Dorame, who was a fantastic last-minute substitute from Sir Brick Price! He was found by the most wonderful woman  ...

To have a great film you’ve got to have a great story. Like Lennon-McCartney, the two go hand-in-hand: Mutiny on the Bounty, Gone With the Wind, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Casablanca, The Hustler, Damn the Defiant, Lawrence of Arabia, Zulu, The Magnificent Seven (h/t to Akira Kurosawa), Lord Jim, The Great Escape, & The Wild Bunch , just to name a few (a very incomplete list to be sure!)  Anymore – too oft for comfort – stories seem to be tossed into the WC in favor of (or lack thereof compensated with) F/X. Don’t get us wrong: there’s nothing better than terrific F/X – what would Star Wars be without it (ok – basically a Western) but still with a great story!!! Sometimes great stories come in the form of the creator’s mind (as with Star Wars for example)...

When it rains, it pours!!! Now our very own R.E Wilhelm III has not one but two films to shoot this July: Director Mark W. Curran’s psychological thriller “The Abandoned Dead” & Mike Moutsatsos’ family saga “Barker Daniels“. Ahh, such is an actor’s life! Feast or Famine it is. Just one of those things (& sometimes a veritable Trip to the Moon on Gossamer Wings!). This past Friday was the Dances With Film Festival 2014@ the legendary Graumann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Mo Fitzgibbon & hubby Robert Walker premiered a new music video of Joanna Tepper, Save the Children. Take a bow – both of you!!! Definitely outclassed – by far – the other vids that were presented. Well done!!! Excellently produced, shot, & edited!!! Kudos!!! Remember Joanna is the offspring of a songwriting family, s...

The horror/psych thriller genre is certainly one that makes $$$, which is obviously why they keep making them!!! And that will continue until the pubic at large tires of them which has yet to happen. In that vein, our very own R.E. Wilhelm III just booked a lead part in Mark W. Curran’s upcoming indie feature “The Abandoned Dead” (no website as yet – under construction). The script is a real thriller with a fascinating twist at the end. No campy ‘teens-lost-in-woods-hunted-by-crazed-zombie/vampire’ schlock here (life’s too short for that!), but a very well-thought out & well-written project. Principle shooting begins this summer. Well done Mr. Curran!!! We’re earnestly look forward to the result!

Chivalry: Learn it. Live it. Set an Example.

What a weekend! Wrapped up the 2014 Airshow @ Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA. It was a salute to the 8th USAAF and its contributions to winning World War II  in the European Theatre. Some really amazing & rare aircraft – not only – in attendance but flying!!! : two B-17G‘s, about a half-dozen P-47 Thunderbolts (Museum even owns one of the few “Razorbacks” left in operation), F4U Corsairs, Grumman F3F  Wildcat & F6F’ Hellcat (dubbed “the Zero Killer” because it was the first American fighter that could outperform & outturn the Mitsubishi A6M Zero), the SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber (victor of Battle of Midway 1942 where it sank three Japanese carriers in the span of about ten minutes), TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber, P-40 Warhawk,  a Mitsubish...

***BREAKING*** DISTRIBUTION SECURED!!!

Fortune Smiles on MASTERS OF WAR:SOLDIERS OF DISTINCTION!!! Earlier this week we secured a distribution network for the show!!! If you know anything about this industry, that’s one of the highest bars one needs to surmount. There are so many potential shows out there that it’s easy to become lost in the deluge. Distributors though are constantly searching for something that is different, will catch – and hold – an audience’s attention, have somewhere to go, and – above all – attract advertisers. What we’re doing here & the way we’re doing it is inherently unique & this distributor sees that...
